It's a bare bones model, no options, but it seems to be legit low miles.

Hey everyone,
I have an '87 Ciera 2.8 MPFI. I might attempt to replace the crank balancer. Does anyone know the crank bolt size? Or a part number from GM, Dorman, etc. I googled it and apparently there's a common bolt for sale for the Chevy 305, 350 that fits the 2.8/3.1 multi port. 

7/16" - 20 pitch.
2 1/2" length. 
5/8" hex head. 
Grade 8 threads. 
Can anyone confirm this?
I'd just match the bolt when I take it out. I'm a bit intimidated with removing balancer lol. I'd just like to find bolt before I even start. 

Thanks

Does this go in this section or in For Sale?

Not mine; no affiliation. I used to own a 6000 SE AWD and participated a bit in the ancient fwd gm a-body forum.

Just putting it out there, in case I can help some folks out, but I have had a number of Celebrities over the years and have parted out a couple and I also used to gather parts from the junkyard when they were commonly found there. Body parts, interior parts and some mechanical parts too. Just let me know what you are looking for and I'll see if I have it.

I'm not looking to profit, just get some parts in the hands of people that may need them.

Also, I can say for sure that I pretty much have no parts that are specific to the 4cyl. I've only ever had one 2.5L car and I sent it to scrap still in the car because the engine was toast.

Advance Auto Parts is closing a lot of stores, as you probably already know. The stores that are closing have everything on sale, but even the other stores seem to be clearing some items out. I got a couple of deals for my '92 3300V6 Century and '96 3100V6 Century Custom. The belt tensioners for the 3300s have become harder to find lately.

       

A fine example of a rare vehicle!

I seen this on the old board but only one and half pages of it were posted. I've had a few search alerts for years waiting to see an Oct 1988 edition appear somewhere so I could see the whole article. At one point I called the media company that bought them out to see if reprints were possible, they were, but min order is 100 copies and would have cost a few grand. But, as luck would have it, an Oct 1988 popped up in a lot of several others. So I was finally able to get the whole article. I love some of the wording "they needed an automatic transmission that could handle the 138hp of the 3.1L" 


   
   
   
   

And here's a PDF of the whole article

Finally got Mihoshi going again.  Been close to a year I think, she has been sitting there.

Running fine,  but since I did the LIM replace, she has been rough idling.  Will try to idle but then will finally sputter out.

Just put new WVE ignition module, and new NGK coils on, as well as a new WVE AIC.  

I'm thinking vacuum leak.      One unknown I am dealing with is the hose running from under the throttle body to the back valve cover opening.
Can I plug  this thing off?  I guess I need to get the wd40 out and start spraying around. 

Any thoughts on this issue?  Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm off facebook, maybe for good...thing was taking over my brain   I am running a burner account so I can browse marketplace.

If anyone is looking for rear calipers for their AWD 6000, you can find them here: https://www.fierostore.com/

They are the same as the 1988 Fiero, with the note that the Fiero reverses the right and left from the 6000 AWD. GM Part#'s 3487476 3487477 or A1-Cardone 18-4309 18-4310 do not seem to be available anywhere. I had a bleeder screw break off and then the easy-out broke off and I could not drill out the high strength easy out material. I was able to weld onto it after a day break to get it out but I was sweating for a bit and went looking for new ones just in case.

Trying to diagnose the third brake light in my 1996 Buick Century Wagon.

The first time a shop 'repaired' it, they said they removed a ground strap somewhere and it worked. Pretty hack. I found that resulted in the rear defroster turning on when hitting the brake pedal. 

Eventually it stopped working again, possibly when I replaced one of the rear lift struts that hold open the trunk. 
Another shop then fixed it by running a wire along that driver-side trunk prop-rod. Not sure where they tied into. It worked for a while, but again has stopped functioning.

I'm hoping someone here might have a high quality wiring diagram to share, so that I can DIY it and fix all the hackwork that has been done back there. 
I have these ones that I've attached, but they are so pixelated that I can't quite use them.
